"The results are
extremely encouraging
and imply that the perovskite
is not fundamentally unstable
inambient conditions."
"Currently, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on the "triple layer" architecture with a thick carbon back electrode have demonstrated perhaps the most stable performance characteristics of all PSCs ."

"Based on the pioneering work by Mei et al. （ Han Group ) , we developed HTM-free solar cells, being at present the cheapest , fully printable low-cost deposition process."

" Several groups have fabricated solar cells with micrometer-thick carbon top electrodes, which have been shown to have impressive stability and have been summarized in previous review articles. A combination of micron-thick carbon electrodes on perovskites infiltrated through mesoporous ZrO₂ and mesoporous TiO₂ have enabled no change in performance for unencapsulated solar cells after 1 year of storage in 54% RH ambient air and 1000 h under 1 sun in ambient air. Impressively, continued performance improvements on this mesoscopic, metal-free architecture have led to power conversion efficiencies exceeding 15%, and WonderSolar in China has begun deploying it at the module level."
